I bought George Washington's ax that he used to fell the cherry tree. The guy I bought it from said that the head has been replaced twice and the handle three times. But it is George's ax.

"I bought George Washington's ax that he used to fell the cherry tree."

If you examine the ax closely I believe that you'll find a small sticker just below the bottom of the head, in close proximity to the handle that reads "Made in China". If this isn't the case the China statement is incised into said area. Did you mention that George owned it? Is there any cherry juice on the handle? Would you like to buy a bridge?

I am glad you got the real deal. Mine was made in Japan.
